I have been noticing more and more people walking around barefoot on the plane. Yesterday, between ORD and DFW, there were at least 4 people...and I am not talking about children. These are grown men and women. Besides the obvious health issue, are there any policies AA has regarding in flight attire? What is next, shirtless passengers? I asked the FA and she shrugged her shoulders.

I was on an ORD to LHR flight and this guy takes his freakin shoes and socks off just before dinner. The FA very politely tells him that it is a healthcode violation and she cannot serve dinner till he at least puts his socks back on.

American may refuse to transport you, or may remove you from your flight at any point, for one or several reasons, including but not limited to the following:
...
6. Your conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent, or you
...f. Are clothed in a manner that would cause discomfort or offense to other passengers,
...g. are barefoot, or

I was once told to put on my shoes...I was not walking around barefoot and wouldn't dream of it...but I was seated without shoes and the AA flight attendant told me to put them on as it was a safety issue. (And no there was no cheesy feet issue)....I felt like a naughty child..but then AA flight attendants are not (in my experience) particularly interested in their passengers' flight experience.

That's bizarre--I've heard pre-departure safety announcements in the past that specifically said women should remove their high-heel shoes in case of an evacuation. (Presumably because they would puncture the inflatable slides.) So I find it hard to believe that sitting or walking around shoeless onboard is a safety issue.
